For more than 30 years, the legendary Sala Thai restaurant has been the soul of authentic Thai dining on Koh Samui, enchanting culinary connoisseurs with innovative interpretations of timeless recipes. Now, guests are invited to step behind the scenes and discover the secrets of Thai cuisine through an immersive hands-on cooking journey.

Your experience begins at Suan Prik, our chef’s lush chili garden, where the freshest herbs and spices are hand-picked at their source. From there, under the expert guidance of Chef Pop, you’ll learn to prepare three signature Thai dishes and one chef’s dessert in the open-air setting of Sala Thai — surrounded by tropical gardens and the gentle spirit of Thai hospitality.

As you cook, Chef Pop shares his knowledge of Thai flavors, techniques, and traditions, passed down through generations yet elevated with his own creative touch. Each step is designed to inspire confidence, creativity, and connection to Thailand’s rich culinary heritage.

When your creations are ready, savor them in the elegant surroundings of Sala Thai. Along with cherished memories, you’ll take home a set of recipe cards, a custom-made apron and hat, and a special keepsake from the chef — so you can recreate the tastes of Koh Samui wherever you are.
